Do you feel like your campaigns aren't reaching their full potential?
Are you struggling to get the results you want?
Well, there's a powerful solution that you may not be using enough of: it's social proof.
It’s scientifically proven that people rely on the actions and opinions of others to make decisions, especially when they are uncertain or have limited information.
Essentially, people look to others to confirm that their choices are valid and trustworthy.
It's the reason why we're more likely to buy a product with positive reviews, or follow a fitness routine that has worked for others.
In the world of advertising, social proof can be a game changer. It can be the difference between a potential client scrolling past your ad, or stopping to take a closer look.
Sharing reviews and testimonials from your satisfied clients works wonders in establishing credibility and building trust.
This can give potential clients the confidence to choose your coaching services over your competitors.
What does social proof look like?
There are many different types of social proof, such as testimonials, case studies, social media engagement and endorsements.
If you've worked with well-known individuals or organisations, don't be shy about sharing this. It can significantly boost your credibility.
There are also industry-specific awards or press coverage that you may have received, both will raise your authority and being able to add "as featured in.." to a sales page is a great asset for your business.
Each of these forms of social proof can help to build trust and establish your reputation in different ways.
How do you effectively incorporate social proof into your ad campaigns?
Social proof is so persuasive that I’ve found it to be effective at any stage of the funnel, but it’s particularly good for retargeting ads.
E.g. a visitor to your sales page doesn't buy, so you retarget them with another ad showing them glowing customer testimonials.
Remember, authenticity is key. Your social proof should be real, relatable, and relevant.
A screenshot of a positive comment that someone has said about your coaching or training programme on social media is perfect for an ad! Or even better, a handful of positive comments.
I’d also highly recommend using video testimonials, these are highly influential when used in a coaching sales funnel and can encourage people over the line.
The key takeaway is that social proof can be a highly effective way to influence people's decisions and ultimately drive more business for your coaching practice.
So, make sure that you regularly ask your clients for feedback and feature their kind words in your marketing and ads. By leveraging social proof, you can take your coaching business to the next level.
